TIME CAPSULES

Despite a spirited and gutsy effort, Belgrano Volley succumbed to defeat to DirectTV Bolivar, the best team in the league. It was tagged as a mouthwatering clash since the two teams were fighting for the top spots but Bolivar came on out top. But if anything stood out apart from the match was the tremendous support of the Belgrano fans. Not contempt with filling every football stadium, the fans are now packing every volley ground. The fans stuffed the Polideportivo Carlos Ceruttti and it was highlighted by the sport press as Diario Ole quoted: "The Belgrano support is the best thing in the league". Bolivar remained atop and Belgrano fell to third place, a really good position since it is the first year Belgrano participates in the league. Belgrano's most important player was again Alex Moreno who has 216 spikes in only 8 matches!
